New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/22/2011 -- New York, Hong Kong, and Singapore are just a few of the cities were High-Frequency Trading Happy Hour has congregated high-frequency (and some low-frequency too) traders, quants, managers, investors and key decision makers for evenings of networking and cocktail. Next Tuesday 23, Chicago will host traders and quants at High-Frequency Trading Happy Hour Chicago, http://hfthappyhourchicago.eventbrite.com, at The Lounger at JW Marriot on Adams St.
